Simple Match Fishing Forum

we walked the walks some short some long through all the seasons and watched them change.
we walked the walks in wind and rain snow and ice through hot days and cold days.
we walked the walks and talked the talks more than most the good time the bad times the questions and decisions never to speak the answers but always the right answer in the end.
we walked theses walks every day year on year hour by hour over the last 17 years until today
we are finally parted the chain is broke and your free to rome  where ever you go
i'l look out of my window day and night just to see one more time that happy bouncey black and white delight that was my best friend
DEACON



what a dog

Sorry to hear that Joffe.

I know what you are going through, - probably the same as I did - you get that attatched to them.

Chin up Boyo.

sorry for your loss joffe

Sorry for your loss mate.. your sad now but in time your memory's of Deacon will bring a smile to you face

your right dave the last few weeks have been hard,the walks were a lot shorter and slower. the time was right the vet said he might of had another week or two in him with tablets ,but he did say the look the dog was giving said it all.

dave i still have blue

what if, for one short hour,
we could see the souls we loved,
that they might tell us where they be....

RIP Deacon.

blues doesn't know what to do with himself today

Sorry for your loss Joff. Sad times :(

It's over 35 years ago that I lost my German Shepherd 'Timber' and I was unconsolable at the time, but my Mum gave me a copy of the following poem, don't know who wrote it, but it sums things up so well that I've kept it and have passed it on from time to time.

If it should be that I grow frail and weak and pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then you must do what must be done, For this--the last battle--can't be won.
You will be sad I understand, don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest, your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years, what is to come can hold no fears
You'd not want me to suffer, so when the time comes, please let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend, only, stay with me til the end
And hold me firm and speak to me until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree it is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved, from pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close--we two--these years, don't let your heart hold any tears.

Thoughts are with you and your family Joff, RIP Deacon.

Nice pic mate how long they been together.

blue is ten fergus died ten years ago so blue has known deacon all his life he's a great dog as well if ive gone out to the pub without him and the tank commander leaves a door or a window open enough for him to get through he will
and always finds his way to the pub  some of the lads didn't believe it until he did it the other week and i'd been up the top bar while the dog sat in the bottom bar just looking at me 
i'm making the most of blue but even with just the one seams completely different  he's the boss now

Sorry to hear this pal I lost my jack russel 16 yrs ago it hurts.go win the match Sunday and enjoy mate.

Sad sad news Joffie. I am sure we have all experienced this at some times in our lives, but your memory is a great photo album, and i am sure you will continue to remember him a long time from now. Condolences

he's a bit perkier today
